Recovering from a link failure between near sites in a star topology

Edit online

To recover from a link failure between near sites in a star topology, you verify the state of the consistent group and repair the link.

Verify that the 050994 3-site consistency group is now in 2-site data cycling mode event notification is received. To view the event notification, see Informational events.

Enter the ls3sitercconsistgrp command to verify the state of the consistency groups.

In the resulting output, the state of the consistency groups is 2site_periodic.

[root@ORCH-HOST cli]# ls3sitercconsistgrp 
name state            primary periodic_copy_source sync_copy_state         periodic_copy_state freeze_time cycle_period   status
CG0  2site_periodic   AuXNear AuXNear              consistent_stopped      idling                          350

Repair the link between the near sites.

Enter the ls3sitercconsistgrp command to verify the state of the consistency group.

[root@ORCH-HOST cli]# ls3sitercconsistgrp 
name state            primary periodic_copy_source sync_copy_state         periodic_copy_state freeze_time cycle_period   status
CG0  2site_periodic   AuXNear AuXNear              consistent_stopped      idling                          350

If the sync_copy_state is consistent_stopped, enter the ch3sitercconsistgrp -join command to join the site in 3-site data cycling.
```
[root@ORCH-HOST cli]#  ch3sitercconsistgrp -join Master CG0
```
